Aloha,
Welcome to my webpage. Our 7th grade students will be challenged by an extensive comprehensive curriculum. The first quarter, our students will be completing their autobiography projects and begin other writing assignments. The curriculum will include drama, poetry, short stories, novels, autobiographies, oral communication, vocabulary, writing, Interdisciplinary Units, grammar, quotations and more. Students will be working on various projects during the year and exploring fun and exciting new lessons. Homework will be assigned as needed, but only to complete the day's classwork, or to prepare for the next day's lessons. I am originally from Newport, Kentucky, where I taught at Newport Middle School for thirty two years. I also taught high school English at North Myrtle Beach High School, in South Carolina for one year.
Check out the pages in the table above and the special activities pages below to find important information for the class. I am always happy to email, phone, or meet with parents. I am also available Monday - Thursday after school, for students needing help.

Two roads
diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
